Break light recall - location mount vernon, ohio - date 12-12-2015 I was driving to a christmas event and was pulled over by a state highway patrol officer due to my breaklights being out. I pulled over in the nearest parking lot and had my boyfriend look at it. He said there is a little switch behind the break area that was stuck. He flicked it a few times and it came loose and started working. I am glad the officer let me know before I got into I-71 traffic. I would like to know how to take care of this.

"hyundai motor company (hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 accent. Hyundai's recall campaign number is 110." I have a 2009 hyundai accent that has had a brake light switch failure back in april 2013 and now in november 2014. In 2013 hyundai did a supposed fix based on campaign 110 ... The "fix" has failed and again all three brake lights have gone out at once. In 2013 I contacted hyundai corporate and they assisted in getting the issue dealt with. The 'fix," though, has failed and now hyundai is saying my 09 has no known issues or recalls. I spoke with them and received a case number [xxx] and have spoken with a [xxx] and have been given different stories starting with it was only 06 and 07 hyundai accents recalled for brake light switch issues even though cars.com and motortrends.com reported otherwise and when I called back informing them that the federal safety agency has 09 accents also listed the story became that it's only certain 09 accents. The issue is now over VIN number. What I know it that I have a 2009 hyundai accent that has had not one but two brake light switch failures ... An issue known in these type of cars by them and the federal government ... But hyundai is not recognizing that there is an issue. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I have a 2009 hyndai accent. My brake lights are going on and off. After researching online I found that there was a recall for brake light switches. I called my local hyndai dealership and they stated that my VIN # was not under the recall. Leading me to believe that they did not make the recall large enough to cover all the cars that are affected by this malfunction. The dealership is now wanting $175.00 to replace this. There was no accident or anything that would have caused this issue in my car.

I noticed my vehicle's brake light switch was faulty after bringing in my car for an oil change. After coming home and noticing it, I realized that there was a recall on the same exact part for my make model year (hyundai accent 2009). After calling the local dealership, they said that it was not covered underneath the recall. I am skeptical that hyundai made there recall large enough to cover all of the impacted vehicles, thus this post. It looks like other owners are having similar issues as well: http://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/accent/brake-light-switch-problems.php

I own two hyundai accents, a 2008 and this, a 2009. Now both have had the same problem with the brake light switch becoming inoperative. Fortunately, the lack of brake lights was noticed before any accidents occurred, and the vehicles were taken to the dealer and were repaired at no charge. It seems that the recall for 2006 and 2007 should have been extended to the 2008 and 2009 accent models (plus any others using the same brake light switch).

The brake lights all failed at the same time. My daughter was following me and noticed they weren't working. I checked the fuse and it is ok, so the next component is the switch. I researched problems with my model and noticed there was a recall for the 2007 model year for the same model car for the stop lamp switch. Maybe the same parts are being used in later model years.
